I've started this audio project - basically an online CC audio sample download library... and forgot to implement a streaming function. The site runs off a LAMP config - currently using the e107 CMS. What I need to do is add a mp3 streaming option for every .wav file on my server. Is the easiest solution to run a server side script that converts all the wave files to mp3 files and simply put up a flash-player and adding another button next to the download one? OR: Any easy prebuilt PHP solutions out there for something like this? Perhaps something that is built to be easy on the server..? Any ideas, comments, considerations on this audio library subject would be more than welcome. Thanks...!
CentOS 4.4 - wouldn't mind changing to another distro if that for some strange reason would help!? No windows license here... although access and asp.net might be better for a 'filehost + streaming + potentially a lot of users' type application (or perhaps I'm wrong?) And just for the sake of asking... How much would I get charged if I couldn't bother doing this myself? Ie hacking a CMS that the coder knows, adding a player and the call to MySQL + a wave to mp3 script? I know it would take me a decent amount of time, but for a good coder I'm guessing one hour max (wrong again?)
